Ars has published part VI in their series of articles on the history of the Amiga. "When a corporation is bleeding money, often the only way to save it is to drastically lower fixed expenses by firing staff. Commodore had lost over USD 300 million between September 1985 and March 1986, and over USD 21 million in March alone. Commodore's new CEO, Thomas Rattigan, was determined to stop the bleeding."

To their credit, they did produce a run of A3000UX machines in '91. They were Amiga 3000s with a 25MHz 030, extra RAM (2mb chip, 8mb fast), an ethernet card (A2065), a tape drive, and a three-button mouse.

They ran Amiga Unix, based on AT&T System 5 R4 (might have been Coherent again). The graphics specs weren't as good as the 900's, but the processor and memory were a nice boost.
